Method for a service provider to launch a targeted service implemented by an application belonging to a security domain of an eUICC
a technology of security domain and service provider, applied in the direction of subscription services, wireless commuication services, machine-to-machine/machine-type communication services, etc., can solve the problems of not being able to launch remotely a service provided by a transversal application implemented on this euicc, and the service provided by an application implemented in a non-activated profile cannot be used

Problems solved by technology
This means that the services provided by an application implemented in a non-activated profile cannot be used.
However, data memorized by the service provider to establish this communication channel may not correspond to the profile which is currently active in the eUICC.
In that case, the service provider will not be able to establish a communication channel with the eUICC and therefore, it will not be able to launch remotely a service provided by a transversal application implemented on this eUICC.

Embodiment Construction
[0042]FIG. 1 illustrates schematically the architecture of a eUICC remote provisioning system.
[0043]This architecture in provided in the GSMA specification “Remote Provisioning Architecture for Embedded UICC Technical Specification”. An overview of the components of the system is provided hereafter. For a full description, one can refer to the aforementioned specification.
[0044]The eUICC remote provisioning system is comprises several components 100-105.
[0045]An eUICC 100 is represented and is able to communicate with the other components of the system using standard interfaces.
[0046]The SM-DP 102 is the “Subscription Manager-Data Preparation”. Its role is to prepare the profiles and to manage the secure download and installation of these profiles onto the eUICC.
[0047]The SM-SR 103 is the “Subscription Manager-Secure Routing” server. Its role is to securely perform functions of Platform Management commands and the transport of Profile Management commands.

Method for a service provider to launch a targeted service implemented by an application belonging to a security domain of an eUICC embedded into a communication device. The security domain and application being respectively called transversal security domain and transversal application, the eUICC comprising a set of at least one profile allowing the communication device to access to a specific mobile network infrastructure, one profile being activated at a time by receiving by the eUICC from an SM-SR server on a communication interface a command for enabling a profile, the command having an identifier of the transversal security domain; interpreting by the eUICC the command for enabling a profile as a command for transmitting a subscription address associated to the profile which is activated in the eUICC; sending an SMS message comprising a subscription address associated to the profile which is currently active; establishing between the server operated by the service provider and the eUICC a communication channel, this establishment being initiated by the server operated by the service provider using the subscription address transmitted by SMS; receiving by the eUICC on said communication channel a command for launching the targeted service; launching by the eUICC the targeted service.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a method for a service provider to launch a targeted service implemented by an application belonging to a security domain of an eUICC. It is applicable to the technical domain aiming at providing connectivity for communication devices.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The GSM association (GSMA) has provided in June 2017 the 3.2 version of an embedded SIM specification called “Remote Provisioning Architecture for Embedded UICC Technical Specification”. This specification provides a de-facto standard mechanism for the remote provisioning and management of machine to machine (M2M) connections for the Internet of Things, allowing the “over the air” provisioning of an initial operator subscription, and the subsequent change of subscription from one operator to another.[0003]In a M2M eSIM context, several profiles can be downloaded in an eUICC, each of them being associated with at least a different subscription address such as a Mobile...
